I can understand hoarding food, water, gasoline and the necessities but some of the stuff that goes on with folks buying up every box of a specific ammo or components they see is just unbelievable to me. How much is enough? I have seen guys with coffee cups waiting in front of retail stores on Monday mornings for the trucks to be unloaded to buy up ammo and what ever else they can get or think they need. What about the poor guy that can't do this and he has as strong a desire as anyone else to enjoy our hobby? I try to buy what I need and have some extra but I have been caught more then once with almost no primers and hard to find bullets or pistol ammo to take my daughter out shooting. Sure it's government contracts, but it's just as much our fault as anyone elses. And about these left wing liberals, someone voted for these folks and this president. Just my opinion I could be wrong.

Dave when I started shooting powder was $1.95 apound and primers were $1.00 per 100. I have always said were is it all going to end when bread is $100.00 a loaf. Someone with the money will just keep buying because they can and you and I will have to wait for the deals.

I can well remember Joe Salt's price quotes and agree with his prediction of where it ends. We may be getting into conflicts over food, let alone oil. As far as reloading components are concerned lets just guess that 70% of all who shoot in the USA got word of the intended fees the leftist government was going to levy on them. Then they might have purchased 2 times what they normally would. This doesnt equate to hoarding, just good sense. Iam retired on a fixed income. I have no means of stocking away vast amonts of components but many folks like me can have an effect on supply when it occurs over a relatively short period of time. There certainly was a rush on guns and ammo right after obama was elected, and manufacturer's sales records prove it.
